Why Breastfeed?

Breastfeeding Benefits

The Perfect Nutrition for your Baby.

Every woman’s path through motherhood is different, but one of the first things a new mom has to decide after giving birth is how she'll feed her child. There are a great deal of reasons why one might decide to breastfeed. Let’s explore some of the reasons breastfeeding contributes to a healthy future for the baby and for the breastfeeding mother as well:

- Breastfeeding enhances brain development. Research shows there is better visual development and visual acuity in breastfed children.

Benefits for the Mother:

- Breastfeeding leads to a lower risk of type-2 diabetes, ovarian cancer, and certain types of breast cancer in mothers.

- Breast milk has the right temperature, needs no preparation and can be readily available whenever your baby needs it.

- Breastfeeding is more than just food. It can enhance the emotional bond between the baby and mother by providing warmth, love and affection.

A Perfect Alternative: The Breast Pump

There are many reasons a mom may not be able to exclusively feed from the breast, such as the baby having difficulty nursing or mother having to return to work. If these, or a number of other reasons, don’t allow for direct feeding at any given time, a breast pump may be the perfect solution!
